ION GX Technology & Mabon Limited

Mabon has undertaken a groundbreaking regional survey offshore Nigeria in conjunction with ION/GXT as part of their SPAN series of surveys. The SPAN lines enable regional geologists to map and model hydrocarbon systems, and in the case of Nigeria, help find new plays.

Through new technology, and innovative thinking with its partners, Mabon Limited continues to improve their data. Currently, Mabon is working on a new project with GX Technology called NigeriaSpan 2. The survey is an expansion of the highly successful NigeriaSpan 1 data acquired in 2005. The main purpose of this project is to assess block prospectivity and discover new play types through better understanding of the underlying regional “big picture” The Span data allows Basin-Scale Imaging, and its concept is based upon a series of regional grids ‘spanning’ all the major petroleum basins in the world.

Through analogy prospects found in one basin may lead to discovering similar situations in other less explored basins.
